I have a 1950s Crestliner where various owners added accessories to the boat that are long gone from it.
Holes range from around 3/4" to 1".
What is normally used to plug them THAT WONT rust or tarnish over time?
I have a classic Crestliner aluminum boat from the late 50s.
Many years ago someone painted the bow numbers.
Is there a way to remove this paint without damaging or discoloring the aluminum??
I am a first time motor boat owner and am about to run my boat for the first time. Hopefully this week. :)
However, I have one thing that I need cleared up before taking it to the dock. As you see in the photo the Michigan MC numbers are already painted on the bow of the boat BUT the MC...
I have this tank I found at the flea market and I would like to use it with my 1990/91 Evinrude VRO 40 hp motor.
However, there is this ball bearing seal, as seen in the attachment.
How do I convert this so I can connect a hose with squeeze bulb to it?
Just popping out the ball bearing is the...
I have a 40 HP Evinrude VRO that I was told is from 1990 or 1991. Particulars are linked below to another thread here.
I would like to get this motor gassed up but have three questions before I start.
There is a separate tank for oil that came with the motor but it is busted. The guy who...

I recently bought a 1950s Crestflight boat and was cleaning it up today. This is mounted above the dashboard. Would anyone know what used to be attached to it??
It does not look original to the boat but I thought that I would double check first. The screws are rusted and chrome has the usual...
I just bought a Crestliner that has a newer engine. (newer than the boat)
The previous owner says he got it to turn over but does not know how well it works.
The engine looks clean and I would like to attempt to at least see if it tries to turn over. But I dont have a spare battery or long...
Can anyone ID my Crestliner date??

Serial - 1030-19009
Recommended max horse power - 70.
From what I've seen so far online the Crestliner logos are from the 1950s.
Anyone know for sure what year this might be from?

I hope I am posting this in the right subforum.
I got this sweet Morse throttle control off of eBay. Seems to work great but there is this chrome knob that I am wondering about.
Its located above the shifter in this photo.
What does it do? It does not push in, pull out or seem to do...
I am thinking of building a hydroplane for next year.
Are there any good videos or dvds or books that can help me get a greater understanding about hydroplanes and how to build one?
It will be a 12 footer. :)
The trailer I have for my boat is probably over 35 years old and I doubt that the axle bearings have ever been maintained. :facepalm:
I am going to move in the near future and my boat will be my Uhaul. This will put over 600 miles on the trailer in a short amount of time. I doubt the trailer...
Slow leaking Carlisle tire. Would I have to replace the rim & tire or just the tire?
I have two tires out of two on my trailer that leak air. Both Carlisle and both are old.
The tires themselves are in ok shape but obviously they need to be changed out.
Would this be a rubber tire or rim...
I'm about to work on the fin portion of my boat.
Its made of 1/4 inch Douglas Fir ply and, as you can see below, its hollow. I want to protect it from condensation and other moisture with epoxy.
To waterproof the insides of the fin can I use straight epoxy painted on or do I need to veil it...
